Quote from Razvozhayev: "The loud noise that was heard was another air defence system intercepting and destroying two aircraft-type UAVs over the Black Sea.
The situation remains under control.
Given that the UAVs were downed over the sea and at high altitude, I urge everyone to stay calm and remain in safe places."
Details: Meanwhile, Crimean Telegram channels reported that air defence systems launched missiles from the Omeha Bay area towards Cape Fiolent. "There were two missile launches judging by the flashes."
Later, the same channels reported that the main explosions occurred near Komyshova Bay.
Explosions were also reported in Kozacha Bay.
Later, Krymskiy Veter (Crimean Wind), a local Crimean Telegram channel, wrote about "loud explosions" in Sevastopol.
